Summary
-
The author presented a detailed talk with dozens of photos explaining the origins of the Bermuda Peppercorn Ceremony, the annual payment of rent for the Masonic Temple of Lodge St. George No. 200 of The Grand Lodge Scotland to the government of the island of Bermuda. This event is the only public Masonic event in Bermuda, where the Masons appear in full regalia, and is held on the Wednesday closest to St. George's Day. While not an official holiday, St. George's Day is the feast day of Saint George, the patron saint of England.
